I know there is so much info out here on worming...almost too much to sift through.
My friend's chickens have round worms. I know she can treat with wazine...but I'd rather her use safe-guard 10% goat suspension or even valbezen. Because her chickens aren't used to being handled, can she soak a small chunk of bread in the medicine and feed each one individually first thing in the morning?
Pls remind me the dosage for a standard size chicken if given orally.
Thanks for any help.

Valbazen -one half cc/ml for standard size chickens, one quarter cc/ml for smaller chickens including silkies. You can use an oral syringe to squirt it down their throats individually or you can inject it into a small piece of bread and give each chicken a piece of bread....they gobble it up. - dump the eggs for 14 days.

She is concerned about the coop floor and the droppings. She has a smaller coop/run. I guess there is a tray under the roost that she can empty daily... But the floor in the run is Grass/dirt. Does she have to spray down the run, pick up poop and discard it... I mean, if she doesn't, will this whole thing happen again?
I guess that's why she would redose in a couple weeks?

Not sure what can be done about the run, except keep it as clean and dry as possible. All one day doses are repeated in 10 days.
